About 80 emergency responders battled a fire in a garage at Heberle Stables on Browncroft Boulevard in Brighton early Monday evening, raising heavy smoke as commuters drove home along Interastates 490 and 590.

No one at the family-owned equestrian business was hurt. No horses are kept in the building and they were moved safely away from the blaze, Brighton Fire Chief Stephen MacAdam said at the scene.

The fire happened around 4:30 p.m. in a garage housing old tractor trailers and maintenance equipment, MacAdam said.

Cold weather made fighting the fire difficult. Firefighters warmed up in a nearby riding ring.
